You do nice work, too bad this is just another self-promotion commercial post like the 100's of others you do. Has it really been 14 days since your last /r/gifs post? Time flies by.

And what's so wrong with that? Major brands market their shit on Reddit all the time, why are you so up in arms about this one person doing it too?

They should mark it as an Ad. I have adblocker to stop seeing ads. If I wanted to see Ads, I'd use Chrome.

Makes me wonder how many of the comments are alt accounts. Stunning! Did anybody say stunning?

Wow, you saved the day. Here, have a medal. I typically sell these medals on Etsy at www.etsy.com/r/gifs but this one for you will be a gift. Enjoy my handmade state-of-the-art medal, made entirely by hand out of med and al.
Joking aside, there's no call to action. This isn't a straight up ad. It's just someone sharing their work. Just enjoy looking at it. They're not telling you to buy it.

OK. Look at their post history, they post this stuff often then give their Etsy link / "check my profile" in the comments when someone happens to say, "this is beautiful, do you sell them?"
In the last thread on /r/gifs, the 3rd top comment has her promoting her business.

If someone asks for a link to buy them, then that isn't an ad. That's someone asking where they can buy them. If OP were putting a call to action straight away in the post, with a call to action directly in one of the photos, then yeah, that's an ad. As an artist and jewelrysmith myself, I see nothing wrong with this post.

An account that ONLY posts/comments on their work is an account used for marketing. Look at their post history - they don't use reddit for any other purpose than to solicit clients. (I went back 30 days; only posts/comments on their stuff. They don't comment in any threads on the subs they submit too - unlike you or I, who are engaging in posts/comments that aren't our own)

Seems like their marketing scheme is working then if you're spending so much time looking at their account.

Is that all you have to say?
It is okay to admit that this is a spam post. I won't fault you for your misguided beliefs.
